"And He said to them, 'Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?'" (Luke 2:49) "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." (John 9:4)

Following in the steps of Jesus, we suggests some personal "musts" for all Christians.

- I must be willing to stand alone if necessary.

- I must be willing to go against public opinion in order to promote truth.

- I must be willing to risk failure in converting most people.

- I must become master of my emotions.

- I must strive to remain above reproach.

- I must be willing to make decisions others don't want to make.

- I must be willing to say "no" at times, even when I would like to say "yes."

- I must be willing to sacrifice personal interests for the good of the local church.

- I must never be content with the average, but must strive for excellence.

- I must always place people above possessions.

- I must always be abounding in the work of the Lord.
